D                  G
I never thought my life could be
A              D7
Anything but catastrophe
    G        D7  A      D
But suddenly I begin to see
  E                    A
A bit of good luck for me

       G                 D         G  D
'Cause I've got a golden ticket
G                 D       B7    E
I've got a golden twinkle in my eye

Dmaj7 Cmaj7 Bm7 A7

I never had a chance to shine
Never a happy song to sing
But suddenly half the world is mine
What an amazing thing

'Cause I've got a golden ticket
I've got a golden sun up in the sky


G
I never thought I'd see the day
G
When I would face the world and say
D             Am          D7
Good morning, look at the sun
G
I never thought that I would be
G
Slap in the lap of luxury
D                       E7          A7       
'Cause I'd have said it couldn't be done
A7
But it can be done


I never dreamed that I would climb
Over the moon in ecstasy
But nevertheless, it's there that I'm
Shortly about to be

       G                 D         G  D
'Cause I've got a golden ticket 
G                 D         B7      E
I've got a golden chance to make my way
                                 G  A   D
And with a golden ticket, it's a golden day
